GS4 AC Drives Installation Instructions

Sensorless Vector Control Variable Frequency Drive

•  Please read this instruction sheet thoroughly before installation and keep this instruction sheet.
•  To ensure the safety of operators and equipment, only qualified personnel familiar with AC drives should 

install, wire, program, and operate the GS4 drive.  Always read this instruction sheet thoroughly before using 

the GS4 drive, especially the WARNING, DANGER and CAUTION notes.  If you have any questions, please contact 

AutomationDirect.

PLEASE READ PRIOR TO INSTALLATION FOR SAFETY

DANGER

•  The ground terminal of the GS4 drive must be grounded correctly.  The grounding method 

must comply with the laws of the country where the GS4 drive is to be installed.

•  After power has been turned off, the capacitors in the GS4 drive may retain a charge for 

several minutes.  To prevent personal injury, visually verify that the “CHARGE” LED has 

turned off.  Then measure to confirm that the DC bus voltage level between terminals (+1) 

and (-) is less than 25VDC before touching any terminals.  (Will take at least 5 minutes for 

most GS4 models; 10 minutes for GS4 models ≥40hp.)

•  The CMOS ICs on the internal circuit boards of the GS4 drive are sensitive to static electricity.  

Please DO NOT touch the circuit boards with your bare hands before taking anti-static 

measures.  Never disassemble the internal components or circuits.

•  If wiring changes must be made, turn off power to the GS4 drive before making those 

changes.  Allow the internal DC bus capacitors in the GS4 drive sufficient time to discharge 

prior to making changes in power or control wiring.  Failure to do so may result in short 

circuit and fire.  To ensure personal safety, allow DC bus voltage to discharge to a safe level 

before making wiring changes to the GS4 drive.

•  DO NOT install the GS4 drive in locations subject to high temperature, direct sunlight, or 

flammable materials.

WARNING

•  Never apply power to the output terminals U/T1, V/T2, W/T3 of the GS4 drive.  If a fault 

occurs during operation of the GS4 drive, refer to the fault code descriptions and corrective 

actions to reset the fault before attempting to operate the GS4 drive.

•  DO NOT use Hi-pot test for internal components.  The semi-conductors in the GS4 drive are 

easily damaged by high voltage.

CAUTION

•  Long motor lead lengths may result in reflective wave due to impedance mismatch between 

the motor cable and the motor.  Reflective wave may damage the insulation of the motor.  

To avoid the possibility of reflective wave damage, use an inverter-rated motor with an 

insulation rating of 1600 volts.  A load reactor installed between the GS4 drive and motor 

will help to mitigate reflective wave.

•  Nominal supply voltage to the GS4 drive should be less than or equal to 240 volts AC for 

GS4-2xxx models, and less than or equal to 480 volts AC for GS4-4 models.

•  Nominal supply current capacity should be less than or equal to 5kA RMS for GS4 models of 

40hp or less, and less than or equal to 10kA RMS for GS4 models of 40hp and larger.

•  The GS4 drive must be installed in a clean, well-ventilated and dry location, free from 

corrosive gases or liquids.

•  The GS4 drive must be stored within an ambient temperature range from –25°C to +75°C, 

and relative humidity range of 0% to 90% without condensation.

•  Do not apply AC power to the GS4 drive with the front cover removed.  Following a fault of 

the GS4 drive, wait 5 seconds before pressing the RESET key.

•  To improve power factor, install a line reactor ahead of the GS4 drive.  Do not install power 

correction capacitors in the main AC supply circuit to the GS4 drive to prevent drive faults 

due to over-current.

Minimum Wiring

•  AC input power to L1, L2, L3 (for single-phase input, use two of the terminals) (For applicability of 1-phase input 

power, please refer to Chapter 1 of the DURApulse GS4 AC Drives User Manual at 

AutomationDirect.com

.)

•  Ground from the power supply
•  Drive power to the motor (U, V, W on T1, T2, T3) (For use with 3-phase motors only!)
•  Ground to the motor
•  STO1 and STO2 (both must be wired through appropriate N.C. safety-rated contacts to SCM1 and SCM2)

With this minimal wiring, the drive can be operated via the keypad to test the motor and drive installation.  

See the “Parameter Quick-Start Set Up” (

page 3

) section to configure the drive for keypad operation.

Recommended Safety Wiring

We strongly recommend that customers use the STO safety feature.
The Safe Torque Off (STO) function turns off the power supplied to the motor through the hardware, so 

that the motor cannot produce torque.  This method of removing power from the motor is considered an 

emergency stop, also known as “coast to stop.”
To use this feature, disconnect the appropriate factory-installed jumpers and wire a safety relay, safety PLC, 

or E-Stop pushbutton as shown.  See “GS4 with Sinking Digital Inputs” (

page 1

) for wiring using the GS4 

internal power supply, or Appendix E of the GS4 user manual for wiring using an external power supply.

Wiring Diagrams

RFI Jumper Removal

If the power distribution system supplying the GS4 AC drive is a floating (IT) or an asymmetric 

ground system, the RFI jumper must be removed. 

Removing the RFI jumper uncouples the internal RFI capacitor (filter capacitor) between the GS4 

drive frame and circuitry to avoid damaging those circuits and (according to IEC 61800-3) to reduce 

ground leakage current.
